RECENT EMPTIES {JUNE 2021}

My last Recent Empties post was back in April and since then

I have only accumulated the 3 empties below.

However 2 of the products are re-purchases which

is always a good indicator as to how much I like and would

 recommend a product. 

1.

STILA

STAY ALL DAY 

WATERPROOF

LIQUID EYELINER

Back in 2020 during lockdown I decided to abandon my much loved

STILA eyeliner and I purchased the 

BYTERRY BLACKSTAR EYELINER

To read my full review

 sadly it didn't last very long and whilst I enjoyed the eyeliner I wouldn't

repurchase and I reverted back to my favourite since 2016, the

STILA Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner.

This liquid liner is, in my opinion, the best liquid eye liner out there.

Unfortunately just as I switched over my STILA then ran dry.

I very quickly re-stocked and happily its back in my life.

L'OCCITANE

LAVENDER FOAM BATH 

REFILL

On constant repurchase, 

I have used this foam bath since 2008, which speaks volumes

about this product.If you are not into your baths then you many not

fully understand why I love this product so much.

You can find out why click here

Without doubt this is the best foam bath on the market.

Several years ago I started to buy the refill which is not only

more affordable, but it's also more friendly on the environment.

If you haven't yet experienced a L'Occitane Lavender Foam Bath

 then I highly recommend you give it a try soon.

ELEMIS

PRO-COLLEGEN

SUPER ELIXIR SERUM

I was a sad day when I pumped out the last of this ELEMIS serum.

I have been on a wonderful journey with ELEMIS products over

recent years and this serum did not disappoint.

It's been a product that I have genuinely missed using daily and

I do have plans to repurchase another in the near future.

40 YEARS OF L'OCCITANE {LAVENDER FOAM BATH}

Despite only being around in South Africa since 2008 L'Occitane has been in existence since 1976, which makes 2016 its special 
40th Anniversary year.

I wonder if back then the founder of L'Occitane, Olivier Baussan, could ever have envisaged the outcome of his passion for his native Provence, love of plants and his desire to create wonderful products that were authentic, traceable and respected both the environment and people.

Alambic

With nothing but an alambic, a small truck and a solid knowledge of plants this young man of 23, set out to sell his distilled Rosemary essential oil on the local markets of Provence in Southern France.

Lavender is a fragrant iconic symbol of Provence and is renowned worldwide for its highest quality, especially that grown in the Haute Provence region and this seemed the most obvious choice for his next essential oil and today it's  still a core ingredient in many of the L'OCCITANE ranges and products.

40 years later and as they say "the rest is history" and L'OCCITANE is now available in every corner of the world for everyone to enjoy.

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, L'OCCITANE is celebrating Provence, the land of its birth, through a limited-edition collection based around its most famous flower. 

The packaging features a new design, inspired by fields of lavender seen from the sky, which trace diagonal lines across the plateaus of Haute-Provence, filling them with colour.

My "go to" weekly Lavender foam bath and one that I rave about constantly is the one below and quite simply it's the very 

Best!

It's a rich, delicate foam bath containing Lavender Essential Oil with a captivating lavender scent and more importantly voluminous long lasting bubbles.
The aroma lets your mind escape to Provence as you breathe in its fragrance and enjoy a soothing moment of relaxation. 

It leaves your skin feeling supple and fragranced with the delicate scent of lavender.

If you love your bubbles and enjoy the whole relaxing bathing experience then I cannot recommend a more beautiful relaxing product and maybe the 40th anniversary is a perfect time to treat yourself to a little bit of Provence.

L'OCCITANE

BUBBLE BATH DAY - 8th JANUARY

Did you know that it's Bubble Bath Day on Friday 8th of January?

 No neither did I,but what I do know is that every day, in my eyes, 

is a Bubble Bath Day and I don't need a special day to celebrate it. Bubble Baths, Foam Baths and even Bath Salts are my thing! 

I love the whole ritual and throw some candles into the mix (not literally into the bath) and I'm in paradise.

So I thought I would share a few of my "faves" with you. 

My all time, best Foam Bath is an easy choice, it's the relaxing 

L'Occitane Lavender Foam Bath. 

I have used this foam bath for many years and what's great is they do a money saving refill.

It's not only highly fragranced, but it's also "big" on the bubble front and I mean plentiful, long lasting luxurious bubbles to just wallow and relax in.

Its my relaxing foam bath heaven.....

L'Occitane Lavender Foam Bath and refill

Another L'Occitane bath product that I enjoy is the 

Roses et Reines Bath Salts,

 a sprinkling in your bath water literally fragrances the whole bathroom with the aroma of beautiful roses. 

There are no bubbles with this one, but the scent more than makes up for it.

 (If I'm not mistaken these Bath Salts could currently be part of their Summer Sale) 

You have to agree that L'Occitane have the best selection of bath products of any brand, which also include products such as Bath Pebbles and Bath Fizzers and I personally love them all.

Another great collection of more affordable bath products is my "go to" South African brand

  RAIN AFRICA

I have reviewed so many of their offerings, but I have recently been loving the 

Cape Malva Body & Bath Oil 

from the Aloe & Avocado range.

It's a dual purpose oil that can be used both directly onto the body or pour into the bath to enjoy the many benefits from the essential oils of Sweet Almond, Sweet Orange, Neroli and Cape Malva to name just a few.

RAIN Cape Malva Body and Bath Oil

Hand Made RAIN Earth Eggs 

are a must try and can be bought individually or in an egg box of six, but you do get to choose the assortment of seed and petal encrusted fizz balls (eggs actually)

that fizz away to reveal fragrant essential oils and moisturizing cocoa butter. 

The rose is my personal favourite, as it doesn't get more luxurious than enjoying a beneficial soak in a soothing bath surrounded by floating rose petals.

Let me know if you have any favourites that you think I should try, as I am always on the look out for new bath "goodies".
